Day 19 ~ Today I am thankful for... electricity
It's something usually in the background - the power that makes things go. We don't even give it a thought to reach out and flip on the light switch or start up the dish washer or turn on our computer. But when the electricity is off, we sure notice!
A couple of weeks ago the power was off for several hours. It was still rather warm out, so that wasn't a problem. What I was starting to wonder about was getting supper ready and how my piano students would be able to see their music in the darkening afternoon. Thankfully, it came back on before either of those became issues.
So this Saturday morning, I am up and doing my list of chores. I have the washing machine loaded and running, the dish washer going, lights on, music playing, and I'm using my computer - all of which depend on electricity to happen.
I guess I would not have made a very good pioneer woman - I enjoy the benefits of electricity too much! :-) So today I'll just say "thank you" for the ability to use electricity as I get my list done.
